Enrolment

Holy Rosary School enrolment policy is based on the following:

All Catholic children are entitled to a Catholic Education.

No enrolment should be refused because of the inability of parents to pay fees. Holy Rosary School does not exclude children of families who are experiencing financial difficulties. Families are encouraged to speak with the Principal in confidence.

Catholic schools should make special provisions, where possible, for Catholic children who have special needs or who are disadvantaged in any way.

All enrolments are dependent upon vacancies being available in the school in the particular year levels required.

Entry into Holy Rosary School is determined by family commitment to the ethos of a Catholic School.

Enrolment at Holy Rosary commences from 4 Year Old Kindergarten onwards. Attendance at voluntary 3 Year Old Kindergarten does not guarantee enrolment into subsequent Year levels.

Enrolment priority is accorded to applicants in the following order:

Catholic students from the Parish (with a Parish Priest Reference)

Catholic students from outside the Parish (with a Parish Priest Reference)

Catholic students from the Parish (without a Parish Priest Reference)

Catholic students from outside the Parish (without a Parish Priest Reference)

Siblings of non-Catholic students

Non-Catholic students from other Christian denominations

Other non-Catholic students

It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to advise the Principal of any special educational needs the child may have.

Procedure for Application

A $65.00 non-refundable registration fee per child applies upon submission of the Application form. The acceptance of an application form does not guarantee an enrolment interview or offer of enrolment.
